Explanation:
Some of my friends and I decided to volunteer at a nursing home once a month. We walked into the home to introduce ourselves to the staff, who would then demonstrate what activities we would be helping with.
We would be able to assist the residents as they take a nice stroll around the outside of the building. They might want to talk, or stay silent.

There was so much to do, we could accomplish a lot while we were there. I decided to start outside, since the weather was beautiful.
